Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesExceptional service, food and entertainment at their restaurant, clean, wonderful amenities, and very private and relaxing. There is an adult side and a family side which is great to know when you’re booking for a romantic getaway. Staff and the people on the island are very warm and helpful. Take the Teking snorkeling tour if you like to snorkel. It’s exceptional.
Beautiful accommodations on the beach with snorkeling at the beach in front of the bungalows.

We received what was offered, breakfast, paddle boards, kayaks, snorkelling equipment, sea view, swimming pool. Great location, not crazy busy although all accommodations were full, walking distance to other acc restaurants(make sure you book). Scooters for hire if you’d like to go exploring. Airport pickup & drop off. Very happy with our nice quiet stay before we head to Rarotonga.

Fantastic place, charming lovely, kind warm hearted staff and absolute joy. Free bananas. Water stations. Free bikes. Great scooter hire a manager who spoke to the guests at breakfast, cared and gave great recommendations. Great breakfast, buffet. Greeted at the airport with a lei by the lovely Aunty Nana.

We loved this small family owned resort with friendly staff and a great location on the beach. We loved the complimentary use of snorkel and goggles (no flippers), the kayaks, the SUPs, and the bikes, which were great because there are no public buses on the island. Complimentary breakfast is amazing with full buffet options as well as an option from the a la carte menu. Rooms are spacious with a large bathroom and walk in shower as well as an outdoor shower, which we loved! The horizon pool was fabulous especially at night watching the stars! We’d definitely stay again.
